Mother's day is tomorrow and I originally trought to give my mom some flowers. I live in Helsinki and I don't really know any practical places to pick white anemones, the traditional gift flowers for mother's day. I'm counting on my brother and his sons to get her some of those. I think I'll be getting some flowers like roses and then I'm giving her this doily. I started to knit it yesterday afternoon and was finished with the knitting by evening (and I didn't even spend whole day knitting it). The pattern is from Novita spring 2005, but it has been previously published by another finnish company called Neovius. I changed the pattern slightly: I continued the lace few more rounds and then I just cast off the doily instead of doing crocheted cast of earlier. My crocheting is really tight so it was easier this way. I also got nice soft picots on it. The oranges aren't covering any mistake, although I could have done better job blocking it more evenly. Oh well, it is sort of cute. The yarn is Marks & Kattens Grandi, 100% cotton, 100g = 600m. Oh, and I'm giving mom also knitted cap in spite of it being almost summer, since she asked me to knit her one before. She bought even a ball of Novita Teddy for it. That yarn is horrible and after knitting a small bit I had to go and buy some Topp't tå to finish it.
